PROPOSE CENTRAL
CHEESE BOARD
Manitowoc Farmers are Deeply
Interested in it
INDUSTRY IS AN IMPORTANT ONE
Particularly to this and Adjacent
Counties
THE BOARD MAY REGULATE PRICES
And by Methods of Instruction and Friendly
Supervision Bring About a more Uni
form Quality of Product
A movement is on foot to establish a
Central Cheese board for Wisconsin, the
purpose being to improve the grade of
cheese as well as to insure uniformity in
price. Milwaukee is endeavoring to
secure the location of the board but it
by no means follows that that city
will be chosen. Manitowoc is deeply
interested in the cheese industry, being
one of the staples of the county, also
one of the great resources to the farmers.
Secretary U. S. Baer of the Cheese
makers’ association was in Chicago the
early part of the week to confer with
the cheese-buyers of that city, who pur
chase most of the Wisconsin product,
by way of ascertaining their views upon
the advisability of establishing a Central
Cheese board in this state to guarantee
uniformity of quality and price.
Before leaving for Chicago Mr. Baer
gave out an interview in which he said :
“I favor any arrangement at any
point in Wisconsin which will improve
the uniformity of Wisconsin cheese and
tend to give uniformity of price. I
don't mean to say that the point should
l>e Milwaukee, but 1 favor a Central
Cheese board if the city and men who
establish it propose to furnish official
scorers and instructors whose duty it
shall be to visit the cheese factories of
the state and teach the cheesemakers in
the hundreds of small factories how to
make the best quality of cheese. n> that
when cheese is shipped from Wisconsin
that in itself will be a guarantee of its
quality and an assurance of the price
that it is to bring.
“The Wisconsin product is the finest
cheese produced in the United States,
and I don't think I am at all extrava
gant in that statement. The state is
adapted to the production of every kind
of cheese in the very best qualities. We
make Swiss cheese that is sold all over
the country as an imported article: we
make as fine grades of Limburger as
are made in the lowlands of Holland,
and our beat cbeddar ranks just as high
as the Canadian product. Our only
fault is that it is not all uniformly good,
like the Canadian product.
“In the 1,657 cheese factories of Wis
consin there was made last year 70,000,-
000 pounds of cheese, or over one-fourth
of all that is made in the United States.
The average price it brought was 10
cents a pound, or #7,000,000 for the
year’s product. That makes the cheese
industry the largest single farming
industry in the state.
“Our exhibit this year, which will be
made on the second floor of the Republi
can house, Milwaukee promises to lie
larger than last year, though this is
possibly the last year that an exhibit
will be a feature of the annual conven
tion. A resolution will be introduced
in the convention to abolish the display
in connection with the annual meeting,
and to substitute a monthly educational
exhibit in some central place to be hold
during the cheesegnaking season.
“The attendance this year promises to
l>e about 800, of which number about
500 will l>e paid up members of the
association. The increased attendance
is the chief reason for our returning to
Milwaukee this year.”
Finds Wav to Live Long.
The startling announcement of a Dis
covery that will surely lengthen life is
made by editor O. H. Downey, of Chu
rnbusco, Ind. “I wish to state,” be
writes, “that Dr. King’s New Discovery
for Consumption is the most infallible
remedy that I have ever known for
Coughs, Colds and drip. It’s invaluable
to people with weak lungs. Having
this wonderful medicine no one need
dread Pneumonia or Consumption. Its
relief is instant and cure certain. H.
Hinrich’s guarantees every 50c and #I.OO
bottle, and give trial Ixßtles free.

ANNUAL MILITARY,
ANOTHER SUCCESS
Soldier Boys Are Hosts at a
Delightful Function
JOO IUNCU UNTIL EARLY DAWN
Professor Urban's Orchestra Furnished
Especially Arranged Music
THE DECORATIONS WFRE A FEATURE
General Spirit of Informality Governed the
Party which was an Attribute
Of Its Success
If attendance and expressions of en
joyment are it criterion, the fifth annual
New Year’s ball under the auspices of
Company 11, at Turner hall Sylvester
Eve, was unusually successful. Fully
200 couples were in attendance and from
the opening selection, after the concert
at Kt o’clock, until 5:80 in the morning,
the scene was one of gaiety.
There is something in the annual
military party due either from its in
formality, or the season at which it is
given that is inspiring, and the partici
pants are infected with the general
atmosphere of good fellowship which is
an attribute of a successful party. This
was not lixcking this year.
A feature of this annual military hall
is its handsome decoration an I this year
proved no exception to the established
rule the embellishments being, if
anything, on a grander scale than ever
before attempted. The colors of red
white and blue were everywhere, and
could not help but be inspiring. Crepe
paper covered the barren walls, support
ing pillars and balcony railings the
brightness of many incandescent electric
lamps beautified the scene. The bal
cony pillars and lower walls were in
red, and the balconies of white, com
pleting the effect of the blue of the
ceiling. Numerous rosettes adorned the
walN and smilax was intertwined in the
balcony railing to complete the decora
tor's work. On the stage the same
scheme was carried out and it back
ground of Hag drapery made a pretty
setting. The artistic creation was ar
ranged by Frank J. Trust who has had
charge of the decorations for several
years and whose ability in this direction
has long since been recognized.
Professor Urban's orchestra of twenty
two pieces rendered the music, some of
which had been arranged especially for
the occasion, and served a decided
success.
Committees in charge of the ball to
whom credit for its success is due, were

Till; DUHNICE CASE
IS STILL HELD
UNDER ADVISEMENT
Richard Dubnke of this county who
‘s judged an incompetent in sueing for
restoration of citizenship rights. His
case was heard a week ago by Judge
Kries of Sheboygan Probate court.
One interesting question raised by the
petition of Dubnke is as to the right of
a court to vacate its own judgment and
on this one point an appeal will be
taken no matter what the decision of
the Probate court may be. Dubnke
contends that in the appointment of the
fit Mt guardian, the court exceeded its
authority liecanse the application was
not made by a relative.
Another feature of the case is as to
the liability of the guardians in event
of the decision of the court being in
favor of Dubnke. Should it l>e found
that the appointment was illegal and
that the court had no authority it is
claimed that the guardian could be held
by I )uli nke for any transactions of a busi
ness nature made during his term of
office. Dubnke is possessed of a con
siderable amount of property and some
parcels of it ha.s been disposed of in late
years, with the sanction of the court.
If the court hail no authority, the sales
are not legal and a question of damages
aris*s.
